Carol Thompson

Objects of my Affection
Reception: July 5 from 5-8pm
July 5 – August 31

Nebraska artist, Carol Thompson, made a series of still life paintings that show simple objects in a variety of compositions. Her keen awareness of the elements and principles of design combined with her use of light and shadow allows her to evoke a range of emotions with seemingly ordinary subject matter.

Strata: Paper and Steel
Reception: August 2 from 5-8pm
August 2-31

Andrew Hayes uses deconstructed books and metal armatures to make sculptures that celebrate the marriage of these seemingly disparate materials. By separating the paper from the book bindings the pages are free to take on new forms within the metal framework. Hayes says the challenge of working this way is to find “a balance in the two materials” so they become unified as one.
